Torn my meniscus AGAIN … should I do surgery ?

Hey guys,

I had a tear on my meniscus 8 years ago and shaved half of it away via surgery .

I recently found out with the same knee I’ve got a bucket handle tear on the lateral meniscus.

I’m a semi pro footballer so this is the second time I’ve torn it playing football.

This time tho it’s actually not stopping me from playing and I only get the popping sensation occasionally. I have no pain day to day, no real discomfort or pain when playing football except occasional popping behind the knee.

Is it worth just managing this for the rest of my life or what are the issues that can/will arise from leaving it indefinitely?
